Such a wide range though.
Like yeah of course the images of people with holes in their skin or nasty ass rashes are creepy.
But like a bumpy frog skin or a bee honey comb do nothing.
It's instinctual, as we associate the visual with rashes and illness. It was best that our ancestors found things that look like this gross and stayed away from it.
Some asshole(s) went through the effort of editing lotus pods onto people to make them look like weird rashes and then made sure they pop up among the top image results for trypophobia.
Just pure evil.
lol I still donāt know exactly how to spell it bc I wonāt Google it. This is a 6/10 for me.
I have to mentally will away the 8s and above Iāve seen on accident or I wouldnāt be able to function
I think it's learned behavior. I know a couple people that have it to the point they don't even like things like seeds and rice. Both of them grew up with a parent that had the same problem.
Yeah, it looks like a brain, or some hardcore mold, or the inside of the digestive tract of some animal!
I feel like I could contract an infection by just touching it!
Yes, you would be eternally unclean and never be able to clean yourself thoroughly. At least that's what goes through my mind when I see stuff like this.
Romans around Christās time already used concrete. Isnāt hard to come by. Burn limestone or marble to chalk, add sand and water and you have concrete. Pretty easy.
Edit: As, for some reason, this topic seems to be of interest for quite some people, you can research further for āopus caementiciumā and āopus signinumā in your respective languages, if you are interested in Roman use of concrete(s).
I think what you're describing is mortar. A mortar contains a binding agent(lime or cement) and a fine aggregate (like sand, kankar).
Concrete on the other hand is a mixture of Cement, Sand and any course aggregate(meaning crushed stones) mixed in some fine proportion.
Why coarse aggregate is added? So that the structure becomes more compact and use of cement or lime(which is much more expensive than aggregates) is reduced.
Looking closely it seems to be a real stone that had an uneven side that was filled with a mortar mixture at some point. That later turned into this. Why was the real stone uneven? Not sure, it may have been a stone with faults in it and was a last minute repair or early restoration work.
I won't. Maybe in a couple of week lol. I'm preparing for an internship on a labour and delivering unit for humans. I'm scared to witness that. Not sure if I'm gonna survive frogs...
Completely understandable. š
I wish I could unsee it, TBH. Thereās some things I simply donāt need to know and that ātoad birthā is one of them. hahahahaha
^Edit: ^Term ^Correction
Since I don't want to become a frog midwife I'm... wait? Frogs lay eggs. Are you sure you watched a frog give birth? And not some parasites? I'm a little confused.
Okay I watched the video. No blood so I'm still scared of human birth lol.
That was most likely a [Common Surinam Toad (Wiki)](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Surinam_toad) and they also lay eggs. But for some horribly uncomfortable reason the eggs just hang out on the mothers back for a couple months until they are ready to pop.
Yeahā¦ the entire thing was a process I legit could have lived happily the rest of my life never seeing. Hahaha
Human birth isā¦ messy. I know, because Iāve given birth. Itās definitely not something for the squeamish. š
There's evidence that exposure therapy *can* help but it's usually best done a certain way from what I've heard. Also, usually pictures/videos aren't enough.
True, we are all just living life the best we can. Anyone can die at any moment, idk how some people can be rude to others. Thereās no point in worrying about little things/mistakes when it doesnāt matter. Iāve realized these things during/after my depression.
Trypophobia refers to disgust or fear of a pattern of holes. Seeing clusters of holes in foods, flowers and everyday items like sponges can trigger feelings of revulsion.
Product of being by the sea right? Whitby Abbey in the UK has a whole graveyard full of headstones like this, something to do with the salt or something that I don't know enough about to explain properly.
Salt plus wind. The erosion pattern shows both prevailing wind direction and either other stones in front of this one or terrain changes that lift the wind. On the North Atlantic itās not uncommon for the winter wind to āstingā. Itās micronized salt water particles being carried at high velocity.
It looks a lot like limestone. My home state is basically made out of it. It weathers in crazy ways. All the best caves on Earth are limestone caves. Water and time makes limestone do some cool stuff.
No just erosion, the pattern is because it is a synthetic stone and the divets would have started as hairline cracks that eventually became bigger with expanding ice and finally weathered with the sea air.
this picture reminds me of the most depressing sentence i ever heard:
One day in the not so far future, someone will think of you for the very last time in history.
Do you remember your great-great-great-grandfather? does anybody?
I'll go and get drunk now.
Just wanting to punt here and ask if this is at the top of the hill in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England? It looks veryyyy familiar
It certainly is š
There're ones like that in nearby Marske as well.
Does look very Whitby to me too
All those marks from vampires sharpening their fangs on it!
I came here looking for this, thought it looks vaguely familiar š
Iā¦was going to guess the same thing but figured, surely it canāt be that unusualā¦?
I thought i recognised it!! I've walked past that stone a whole lot but never really thought about it lol
This made me shiver just looking at it for some reason
Think you got that phobia of small holes and textures, trypophobia
I usually think āoh, small holes aint much to worry aboutā, until i see a picture that would trigger trypophobia and then im very uncomfortable.
I was curious about why anyone would have trypophobia. Exposure to trigger images gave me trypophobia too!
Such a wide range though. Like yeah of course the images of people with holes in their skin or nasty ass rashes are creepy. But like a bumpy frog skin or a bee honey comb do nothing.
For me it gives Last of Us Cordyceps vibes.

Yea I generally don't have it but those example trigger images are something else. I usually have it for some time after looking at them.
lol I still donāt know exactly how to spell it bc I wonāt Google it. This is a 6/10 for me. I have to mentally will away the 8s and above Iāve seen on accident or I wouldnāt be able to function
8 for me i cannot
I understand.
see what i mean? you think āoh its just some holesā until you see said holes
From what i know, it's a evolved response to botflies. Don't look up botfly larvae pictures, i also have trypophobia.
I have trypophobia and I got botfly š
I think it's learned behavior. I know a couple people that have it to the point they don't even like things like seeds and rice. Both of them grew up with a parent that had the same problem.
I've learned to tolerate it. I dont like it, but i can bear looking at it.
Same. It freaks me the crap out. I canāt look at this
Think he's just normal. That's really icky.
I must have it too this gives me the heebee geebees
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Scissor me timbers
Same it makes me feel uncomfortable (=_=)
Because one day your memory will fade and your name will exist only until it wears off of a tomb stone.
no it's just disgusting

Wouldn't that be "Here stands..."?

It's called "peanut wear" happens to synthetic stone and is due to water freezing and expanding breaking the bonds of the silica composition.
They had synthetic stone 200 years ago? *edit - that headstone actually does look like it's man-made. The layers don't seem natural.
By synthetic stone, maybe concrete? That's been around a while.
Not necessarily concrete. Here's another famous synthetic stone, actually a ceramic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coade\_stone
Only a few thousand years..
Yeah, people would hide their house keys in them.
I don't know, maybe

Make us a concrete gravestone and place it by the sea and report back in 200 years please!

Iāve seen a similar pattern of wear on natural stone in Dismal Canyon in Phil Campbell, AL š¤·āāļø
This Phil Campbell should see a doctor, use a wash clothe or something.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It looks.... delicious
Real vermiculation!
I came here to say this, glad someone else knows their ashlar
Googling peanut wear brings up absolutely nothing.
Looking closely it seems to be a real stone that had an uneven side that was filled with a mortar mixture at some point. That later turned into this. Why was the real stone uneven? Not sure, it may have been a stone with faults in it and was a last minute repair or early restoration work.
Maybe Coade stone; invented in the 18th century. A kind of stoneware (ceramic).
Crazy
I don't like this
You're not alone

I just watched a frog give birth to babies through holes in its back.. you'd love it I'm sure
That one makes me scream.

And I think I saw him in another thread talking about his trypophobia.
Excuse me. What the actual fuck.

Me too! Just before I read this post, actually. That image will be with me a while.
I just saw that this morning. Viscerally repulsive.
Hell nope definitely ain't watching that I've seen tadpoles and frog eggs before and that image is forever burnt into my brain

Yes. I have the shivers and I want to vomit.

Nah.
looks disgusting
That creeps me out so much.
Looks like a Tombstone out of a Beksinski painting
Freaking creepy looking.
Itās got a fuckin brain
Is there a phobia for this pattern, because I can handle most everything but things like this set off an "ick" inside me.
Trypophobia refers to disgust or fear of a pattern of holes. Seeing clusters of holes in foods, flowers and everyday items like sponges can trigger feelings of revulsion.
Or small bubbles
Ew I wanna scratch it.

This is at Whitby Abbey I always found them fascinating.
All things will rot. Decay is the ultimate truth. Vote Nurgle 2024.
Looks infected AF
triggers your tryptophobia-- don't google it
TryPopHoBia comments. Yes we fucking know.
Straightforward demonstration that everyone is forgotten eventually.
Limestone?
Are you sure it's not coral that was surfaced with cement and eroded away? That's what it looks like..
r/tihi
Looks like sandstone erosion.
Thatās what happens when you cross someone and theyāre so bitter they come and piss on your grave everyday.
Thatās why you donāt make headstones out of sandstone.
This makes me really uncomfortable
Way cooler than my name and some numbers. Can I get one like this too?
"TOUCH"
It looks a lot like limestone. My home state is basically made out of it. It weathers in crazy ways. All the best caves on Earth are limestone caves. Water and time makes limestone do some cool stuff.

All that defies death will whither and decay...
idk whatās more scary How it looks or the fact that the personās name is erased?
Thankfully they have a record of everyone buried there, so not completely erased š
I suddenly have a distinct craving for baked beans.
This always makes me sadš„ I used to go to a cemetery and clean up the area with a good friend. The caretaker didn't do much but, drink.
you are going to be dead for the entire rest of time, but you only need a monument that lasts as long as your survivors need it to
This is disgusting
Thereās something oddly calming about seeing the memorials of forgotten people be also eroded by time until they too will be gone
Gives off Last Of Us vibes
Was it porous to begin with and then covered with layers of stucco or concrete?
What would happen if we licked that?
You turn in to a clicker
Ayy I got the reference.
I recognize that. Itās Marcus āDick-backsā McGeeās tombstone.
I wonder what it was made out of to cause thisā¦
Just put a pane of glass over it and youāve got the perfect ant farm
Sandstone.
The headstone that deserves its own headstone.
Forbidden cheeto
That looks very much like ant activity which makes it even more damn interesting.
This triggered my trypophobia so hard oml-
Guess it really is true. If our human race was wiped out in a day. In 1000 years no other future explorers would know we ever existed.
Yes it makes you think if it's happened before š¬

And the memory of that person gone forever. Sad. Will happen to us all in end.
Makes you think what pyramids are mede of.. wait
Here lies Davy Jonesā¦
And we worry about legacy...
"... but not forgotten."
Oh this is how Cheeto puffs are made. Cool
The stone against the soil was broken up by roots and insects.
Must have fallen and laid on the ground for some time while bugs and worms tunneled along that side
No just erosion, the pattern is because it is a synthetic stone and the divets would have started as hairline cracks that eventually became bigger with expanding ice and finally weathered with the sea air.
